Deadly downtown Myrtle Beach shooting between customer, employee. 1 arrested
A 17-year-old employee at Peaches Corner has been charged in a shooting death that happened at the restaurant Friday night. Myrtle Beach Police Chief Amy Prock said during a press conference Saturday afternoon that the Conway teen Evany McCray allegedly shot and killed the person. The victim has not been named. Prock said the youth curfew is being 'reevaluated at this time.' The current youth curfew is from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. for those under 18. Saturday afternoon, Prock offered more information about the incident, and bond was set for the suspect. It appears that the employee got into a verbal fight with the victim who walked into the restaurant. The person who was injured was outside on the crosswalk. This shooting is the third to take place in Myrtle Beach's Ocean Boulevard tourist section within months. In April, a mass shooting injured 11 people and killed one, and earlier this month, another shooting near Peaches Corner left one person injured from a gunshot. According to Myrtle Beach Police, Friday's shooting came as a result of an altercation between an employee at the restaurant and another person at about 11:15 p.m. Two people suffered gunshot wounds. One died and the other was transported to the hospital for a non-life threatening injury. The person who suffered non-life threatening injuries was in the crosswalk near the business when they were hit. No further information was shared about the victims of the shooting. The teen's bond hearing took place on Saturday afternoon, during which the judge offered no bond on a charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, a bond of $250,000 for possession of a weapon during the violent crime, and a bond of $250,000 for a charge of possession of a weapon by a minor. McCray was also charged with murder. This charge was sent to the High Court for bond setting. Police Lt. Allen Amick said that Myrtle Beach police were already patrolling the area when the incident took place, and responded 'within seconds' when shots were fired. Prock said that violence like this is a nationwide issue, and that not only are there some 'mitigating' factors that must be examined with open carry laws, but that adults need to secure weapons in the home. The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, police said.

Shooting inside popular downtown Myrtle Beach restaurant leaves one person dead
A shooting inside Peaches Corner, a downtown restaurant, has left one person dead, according to Myrtle Beach Police. This is the third shooting that has taken place in the popular tourist section of Myrtle Beach's Ocean Boulevard within months. A mass shooting in April left one person dead and 11 others injured. An altercation between an employee and another person occurred about 11:15 p.m. Friday inside Peaches Corner, 900 N. Ocean Blvd., a Facebook post from police said. Two people suffered gunshot wounds. One person died and the other was transported to the hospital for a non-life threatening injury, the post said. The name of the person killed has not been released. One person is in custody.

Earlier this month Myrtle Beach Police responded to a shooting near the intersection of 9th Avenue North and North Ocean Boulevard, near Peaches Corner. The shooting again happened about the same time as Friday's shooting, about 11:55 p.m., according to police. After an altercation, several shots were fired and one individual sustained a gunshot wound. That shooting came after an officer-involved shooting on April 26, 2025, in the 900 block of North Ocean Boulevard. A Myrtle Beach Police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Jerrius Davis, who allegedly fired into a crowd of people on a busy walk which prompted police to return fire. Eleven others were injured in the shooting. South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is currently investigating the shooting. Safety along the Boulevard has long been a concern of both residents and visitors who come into the city. Recent shootings have only increased the concern, especially now that the city is in its summer tourist season. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
